Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Our Playlist of Irish Musicians

Erin go Bragh! Or as one of the many sloshed people teetering in a bar near our Manhattan office is probably yelling right now, "Take off your braaaaa!" Saint Patrick's Day means something a little different to everyone. Some may view it as a day to honor their Celtic heritage, while others see it as a chance to guzzle green beer and don blinky-light plastic shamrock necklaces that look suspiciously like Mardi Gras beads. March 17: It's what you make of it.

But you don't need to celebrate the holiday to enjoy the mix below. Kicking off with One Direction's rollicking, Irish music-influenced "Act My Age" (in tribute to Mullingar's own Niall Horan), our Saint Patrick's Day playlist includes many well-known Irish artists — The Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor, Hozier — we've also included some lesser-known acts you just might fall in love with, such as Young Wonder and Imelda May.
